Dormant to Active Company

Dormant to Active Company – An Overview

A Dormant to Active Company conversion is the process of restoring a company from dormant status to active status, enabling it to resume normal business operations. Companies that were previously classified as dormant under the Companies Act, 2013 can apply to the Registrar of Companies (ROC) for activation when they are ready to restart commercial activities, raise investments, enter into contracts, or expand their business.

Before restoring the company's active status, it must comply with the applicable legal requirements, obtain the necessary Board approvals, and file the prescribed application with the Registrar of Companies. Once approved, the company regains its active status and becomes eligible to conduct business operations while complying with the regular statutory requirements applicable to active companies.

Restoring a dormant company allows businesses to utilize their existing legal entity, preserve their corporate identity, and avoid the need to incorporate a new company.

At CAANYTIME, we provide complete assistance for converting a Dormant Company into an Active Company, including documentation, ROC filing, compliance review, and post-activation support.
